Caring for someone with a substance use disorder is difficult for families.

Parents of both adolescents and adults with substance use disorders can feel unsure about the best ways to help their child. It’s also common to feel a sense of responsibility, guilt, or anger. We at Quest Counseling feel it’s imperative to provide support services to families coping with addiction.

Parents empowering parents group

The Parent Support group has been offered at Quest Counseling and supported by member donations since 2014. Parents of adult and adolescent addicts can help one another through their grief and anxiety, while learning together skills to support and create healthy boundaries with their children.

This group is also open to anyone in a care-giving position who is struggling with these issues. Please call Kassi Humphreys for more information about attending this group.

multidimensional family therapy

If your family struggles with multiple issues including substance use, instability, lack of communication, delinquency, or lack of structure in the home, Multidimensional Family Therapy may be a solution. This approach to counseling is offered at Quest Counseling by certified staff. More information on this therapy can be found here.

Multidimensional Family Therapy can be a solution for families which contain more than one member in need of help. Parents with their own substance use or mental health diagnosis often have difficulty when their children reach adolescence. Divorce, loss, or blending families can also require assistance in re-stabilizing. If you feel you could benefit from these services, please contact our staff to make an appointment for assessment.

Education for Parents

The world of substance use is ever-evolving. Contact Quest Counseling if you are interested in participating in Parent Education sessions or groups to learn more about your child’s substance-of-choice, or you have questions about drug identification or testing. All of our services are also available in Spanish. Quest can also refer parents to similar resources in the community.
